Human olfactory system, artwork C013 / 5940
Human olfactory system. Cutaway computer artwork of a persons head, with an enlargement (upper right) showing the olfactory receptor cells (red), and their location in the olfactory bulb of the forebrain (upper centre). These receptors are responsible for the sense of smell. The olfactory bulb contains many olfactory receptor cells that project through a layer of bone (beige) into the epithelial lining of the nasal cavity. They pick up smell information from molecules inhaled through the nose, and the olfactory bulb is responsible for transmitting these signals to the brain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the human olfactory system, a masterpiece of biological engineering. In this artwork by Claus Lunau, we are presented with a cutaway computer illustration of a person's head against a pristine white background. The upper right corner provides an enlarged view of the olfactory receptor cells, depicted in vibrant red hues. These receptors play a pivotal role in our sense of smell. Located within the forebrain's olfactory bulb, as shown in the upper center portion, these specialized cells project through a layer of bone into the nasal cavity's epithelial lining. It is here that they diligently collect scent information from molecules wafting through our nose during inhalation. This crucial process allows us to experience and interpret various odors. The image beautifully captures both the complexity and elegance inherent in our sensory system. From its depiction of anatomical structures like bones and tissues to highlighting key components such as receptors and bulbs, this artwork offers viewers an insightful glimpse into how we perceive smells. Lunau's meticulous attention to detail combined with his artistic flair makes this print not only scientifically informative but also visually striking. Whether you have an interest in biology or simply appreciate art that celebrates human anatomy, this print is sure to captivate your senses while stimulating your curiosity about our remarkable olfactory capabilities.
